[Waking up in a patch of grass in the middle of the woods is more of a relief than it might normally have been for Edward, or anyone else for that matter. The last memory he has of himself in his right mind is of the Malnosso, and their strange and terrifying ability to summon Lunar Rain seemingly out of nowhere. After that, he'd

[It's the blue that catches Capell's eye first. Just a flash of it out of the corner of his eye as he leaves the Grocery with his bag o' apples. Only when he turns to get a better look does he realize just who he saw wandering in the plaza.]

Edward!

[Action]

[vermified]

[Edward glances over at the voice, and his eyes widen at once. It's a familiar face, and not just because of who he looks like, either.]

Capell! You're here!?

[Action]

[the_soother]

[He's actually pretty surprised to see you, Ed. He still doesn't know what happened to you, but hey, that can wait. It's just great to see you.]

Aya is here too. [He rubs his unoccupied arm where she'd whacked him when they'd reunited.]

[Action]

[vermified]

[He's missed you, little buddy ;_; Edward doesn't miss the motion, and he can only imagine how that went. Aya, so abusive D|]

Yes, we- we've spoken. It's amazing, having you both here at once... are you alright?

[Action]

[the_soother]

I'm fine. [Really. The one who should be worried is him. He knows whatever happened was Not Good even if he doesn't know the details.] Are you alright, Ed?

[Action]

[vermified]

[...Well he's been hopelessly lost all day in a village he's spent more than a year in, and he was just killed by the object of his adoration for turning into a murderous monster again, but other than that-] I'm fine. [Or at least that's what he keeps telling himself.]

[Action]

[the_soother]

[Uh-huh. Like he's going to believe that.]

I know you're not fine. Katara told me that the Malnosso had you.

[Action]

[vermified]

[...Grumble.]

Didn't you just get here? What do you know about the Malnosso?

[Action]

[the_soother]

[He knows enough to be worried about it, Ed. When the name Malnosso popped up, it was never about anything good.]

I've been here a week and I've talked to a few people.

[Action]

[vermified]

[True enough. Now he has to angryface at people for giving Capell something to worry about.]

...It doesn't matter. I'm back now, so why concern yourself?

[Action]

[the_soother]

[Whoa, Ed. Easy there.]

You're my friend. Of course I'm worried about what happened to you.

[Action]

[vermified]

[He's more annoyed about people spreading around the concern, but he's also touchy about the issue itself. Doesn't help that he's been fighting with Sigmund for weeks, both verbally and physically. He's not in the best of moods.]

...I really don't want to discuss it, Capell. You know what happened, don't you? Just leave it at that.

[Action]

[the_soother]

I don't know what happened besides that the Malnosso had you. [A sigh. He can understand not wanting to talk about something.] But, alright. I won't pry, Ed.

[Action]

[vermified]

[He... doesn't know? Oh, that's a relief. At least one friend doesn't know he went ballistic and tried to kill everyone. Knowing his luck, Capell's already been through that once.]

Thank you. ...What's the last thing you remember? From our world, I mean.

[Action]

[the_soother]

[Hey, what's a psychotic episode or two between friends?]

I had just cut the last chain. What about you?

[Action]

[vermified]

[Whoa, that's news.] You... succeeded? You liberated the moon? [He'll get back to the question in a minute but whooooooaaaa.]
